Lu Xun in life especially likes snow, which can be seen from his diary. Lu Xun's diary records the weather in great detail, and Lu Xun seems to prefer "snow" to other weather.
The earliest diary about "snow" is January 15, 1913: "In the morning, the snow is like a cold ke, and it is extremely beautiful." "Like a feather in the shape of a snow", the metaphor is vivid and vivid, quite beautiful, and it is really wonderful to read. It was the first winter Lu Xun spent in the north, and it was also the first time he saw the snow in the north, and his joy overflowed into words and jumped on the paper.
Diary of January 24, 1913: "Snow and see daylight." ...... The snow has stopped in the evening, the night has fallen again, and the moon has risen. "Briefly and delicately wrote the whole process of snow this day, three words and two words to write out the scene of "fast snow when the snow is clear", concise and concise, very scenic, like a late Ming sketch, reading quite resistant to play.
At the end of December 1924 in Beijing, snow fell for several days. Lu Xun recorded on the 30th: "Rain and snow. ...... In the afternoon, the snow returned at night. The next day, Lu Xun wrote: "Sunny, the wind blows snow and the sky." A "Ying" word, extremely big in the snow, can be described as quite wonderful, but also aroused Lu Xun's feelings, aroused his deep thinking and endless associations.
On March 5, 1933, in Shanghai, spring was melting, but on this day, there was a spring snow. Lu Xun wrote with great interest in his diary: "The wind and snow, the grass and roof tiles are white. This snow was quite precious and romantic for Shanghai in the south, and it was also a rare scenery for Lu Xun, so he gladly wrote down such a text.
The three words and two words in the diary did not seem to be enough to express Lu Xun's preference for snow, so he wrote about snow many times in other articles. For example, the description of the popular bird hunting in the Baicao Garden after the snow in the prose "From the Hundred Grass Garden to the Sanwei Book House"; the prose poem "Snow", which expounds a profound philosophy through "snow"; the novel "Blessing" and "On the Restaurant", etc., all have snow scene descriptions to set off the atmosphere and express the fate of the characters.
Lu Xun's diary pays special attention to the record of the weather, and the record of "snow", although the language is extremely concise, it contains rich connotations, which is also a detail that we cannot ignore when reading Lu Xun's diary. (Meng Xianghai)
